There are too many ministers of the
Gospel who mistake the purposes of a
funeal sermon. AS we understood it,
such discourse is intended as a lesson
for the living, aud to afford consolation
to the friends of the deceased. Lang
uage calculated only to harrow the
feelings and call forth tears is neither
instructive nor consoing. 1t aggravates
the sorrow of mourning relatives, and
is unpleasant to the largest portion OF
any congregation. With some minis
ters the effort to create scene in pub
lie over the bier of the dead seems al
most habitual.

Removing n Serious Obstruction
Gently.

Dynamite and giant powder might answer
admirably to remove distractions from He'll
Gate in East River, New York, but explosive
measures in medication are ever attended
with disastrous consequences. For instance,
the bowels cannot be violently drenched with
safety, nor is there the slightest necessity
for SO doing. on the contrary, it is most
unwise. None but the purblind adherents
of antiquated theories i'll medicine advise
or sanction such a course. To weaken the
intestines-the effect of drastic purgation-
is to compromise the health of the entire
system With Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
on the other hand, the bowels are relaxed
not by convulsion of nature approximate
ing to an eruption OF Mt. Popocatapetl, but
gradually, beneficially, without wrenching
or drcnching. The liver and stomach, as
well as the bowels, are toned and benefited
